The Atlanta Braves are the hottest team in Major League Baseball right now.

 

Winning nine out of their last 10 games, the team has looked sharp early and emerged as a top threat in the entire league.

While Ronald Acuna Jr. and Matt Olson have gotten off to slower starts than expected, MLBbro Michael Harris II has continued to improve his play.

In just his third season Harris is emerging as the catalyst and most important player in the Braves’ lineup. Starting in every game this season, he has helped lead the team to a 17-7 record.

MLBbro Michael Harris II is at the top of the team in numerous hitting categories. Harris II is in the top three for hits, triples, home runs, total bases, stolen bases, batting average, slugging percentage and WAR (Wins Above Replacement).

He has become the backbone of this offense, and is integral to the success of this potent scoring machine. He hits well against both righties and lefties, and is also a demon on the bases with five stolen bases.

In the past week, the Braves have played six games. During this stretch “Money Mike” has batted .480, tallying 12 hits to only five strikeouts.

The Braves do have a stacked lineup, which allows the MLBbro to hit in different parts of the lineup, but with his continuous development, Atlanta should take a look in placing him in the heart of the lineup.

Harris has spent most of the season batting 5th or lower in the lineup, but placing him second behind Acuna could help the team go to the next level. But the Braves are in a good place to be right now, being one of the hottest teams, with one of the hottest hitters.

If he continues at this rate, the eight year, $ 72 million contract he signed in 2022 will become one of the best bargains in all of sports.
